not sure i'd entertain this one, though.quote:Client: I’ve bought these stock photos of people. Can you please put them on the home page of my website? especially since microsoft almost literally did the opposite of this (turning a black person white)

lol A woman had me use her photo as part of her new ad. She paid for some touch-ups with Photoshop, so I sent her the new picture. Client: I look great! Is there any way you can make my breasts a little larger though? I thought it an odd request but proceeded anyway. However, she still wasn’t satisfied with the second, or even the third copy. However, once I sent the fourth, I got an angry email. Client: Why did you make my breasts so big?! I look like a bimbo! I then showed her the numerous requests she sent me. I got another email shortly after. Client: Sorry for the confusion. The first draft is fine. My husband decided to answer my emails for me.

don't know if this was already posted microsoft released an ocr app for iOS and android http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/02/microsoft-launches-office-lens-for-iphone/ i just tried it on a really hosed full sheet of a4 i've been carrying in my back pocket for days that's worn and has holes at some of the creases and it it made exactly one mistake. it failed to capitalise a single line and indented it one space. all other text rendered perfectly in word format, including underlines. the divergence between the office and mobile teams vs the windows team continues

7 is fine but it does not work well with high res displays (basically anything >150dpi) 8.1u1 is tolerable in its current state, 10 is not. we'll see if that changes but i'm not holding my breath
